  • Luminescent sulfides and solution-deposited oxide thin films

    Creator:
    Anderson, Jeremy T.
    Abstract:
    Solid state luminescent sulfides are prepared as powders in order to elucidate the relationship between structure and light emission. While the sulfides studied in this dissertation are known phosphors, materials are investigated in a variety of new ways. Elementary properties and structures of MgS are reviewed, and preparation of MgS...

  • Copper and iron chalcogenides for efficient solar absorption

    Creator:
    Platt, Heather A. S.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation outlines two approaches for improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of photovoltaic energy generation. First, the structures of known binary copper and iron compounds are used to choose the promising compositions Fe₂XS₄ (X = Si, Ge), Cu₃TaQ₄ (Q = Se, Te), and BaCuQ'F (Q' = S, Se,...
